---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2001 09:45:00 -0800 From: Nora Callahan <nora(a)november.org> To: november-l(a)november.org Subject: Nov-L: Narco News wins big! http://www.narconews.com/ November Coalition members: For about a year we have been covering this story in the Razor Wire and periodic updates on this elist. Nora Subj: Ross Regnart: Al Giordano won his case against Bank in Mexico now owned by Citibank Date: 12/8/2001 11:00:16 PM Eastern Standard Time From: lobo(a)renonevada.net (Ross) To: Chswn(a)cs.com December 8, 2001 A Narco News Global Celebration! Narco News Beats Banamex! -- NY State Supreme Court Dismisses All Charges against Mario Men�ndez, Al Giordano and The Narco News Bulletin -- "Narco-Bankers" Failed Despite Citigroup Merger -- Judge Paula Omansky: Free Speech Champion -- "Narco-Lobbyists" at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer and Feld humilliated; McLish filed an insufficient complaint -- NO Jurisdiction over authentic journalist Mario Men�ndez, publisher and editor of the daily Por Esto! in Mexico -- Insufficient Complaint vs. Narco News and Al Giordano -- The Drug War Went on Trial And The Drug War Lost Stay Tuned for a Full Report: http://www.narconews.com/ Narco News offers its profound thanks to our readers for your support throughout this expensive attack on our free speech and press freedom. We thank the many people who donated large and small contributions to the "Drug War on Trial" defense fund to defeat the billionaires' abuse of the legal system to attack cyber-liberties. We extend our congratulations and gratitude to Mario Men�ndez in M�rida, Yucatan, for his heroic work exposing corrupt white-collar drug traffickers and how the US DEA and other government agencies protect them. Mario started a movement. And this movement, to expose the real powers behind the corrupt war on drugs, and to end the drug prohibition from which they profit, will continue, and will triumph. We have not yet begun to fight! We offer our most profound thanks to Tom Lesser, counsel to Narco News, and everyone at Lesser, Newman, Souweine and Nasser of Northampton, Massachusetts, particularly Libby Spencer and Karen Thatcher, who beat the biggest lawyer-lobbyist firm in the world. Tom Lesser pitched a no-hitter against the Akin Gumpsters, the overpaid incompetents who struck out at every time at bat against the great civil liberties and free-speech barrister from Massachusetts. It is fair to say that without Tom Lesser, this immense victory would not have been possible. We also thank the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), who valiently filed an amicus brief on behalf of The Narco News Bulletin when other "press freedom" institutions ran from the fight. We also thank Marty Garbus, David Atlas and the team who defended Mario Menendez so ably, whose teamwork and experience made this defense unstoppable against the biggest of foes. And we thank all the many colleagues in authentic journalism who wrote about, spoke about, reported on and investigated this case, and in every single instance concluded what NY State Supreme Court Justice Paula Omansky has just ruled: This billionaire's lawsuit should never have been brought. We are sure we have more people to thank, but frankly, it is Saturday Night in a country called Am�rica, a night to celebrate. It's a world dance party, from Cochabamba to your town. But be assured: We are not done with the billionaire Plaintiffs in this case. They abused the court system and used their overpowering wealth to try to overpower us. And they failed. We will consult with our attorneys and co-defendant, and announce the next step in our legal strategy shortly. The aggressors will not be let off the hook. We have anticipated this victory, and now phase two begins. To repeat: ALL three charges against all three defendants in the case of Banco Nacional de Mexico (Banamex) vs. Mario Men�ndez, Al Giordano and Narco News have been dismissed by the New York State Supreme Court.

Jamesd on me is like soviet propaganda
by mattd 10 Dec '01

10 Dec '01

The trouble is that a lot of socialists call themselves anarchists either as a simple cynical lie: (parody of standard commie liar) : : "This time the state really will wither away. : : Trust us. We are different. Once we have total : : power over you and yours you will love it."(jamesd,extract) Yes,so? They are quite easy to expose and I pursue chomsky,Klein and others to pin them down. (mattd extract) The above is about 1 week old ,(Ive made progress in tracing links between klein and chompsky with the ISO.) Well now jamesd comes up with..."except as mattd has recently done -- by citing Chomsky as evidence for the truthfulness of Chomsky, much after the fashion of a Christian who cites the bible as proof of the divinity of Jesus, and Jesus as proof of the infallibility of the bible." When all Id done was ask cypherpunks to compare and contrast jamesd and chompsky on the specific question of spain. Those using the word anarchy might have some interest as might those wondering about the truthfulness (or sanity) of cypherpunks regular jamesd. I might just say at this point that I dont cite jim bell in the fashion of a christian...etc or indeed anyone.Im a skeptic as well as an anarchist."good business is where you find it"

FreeSWAN Release 1.93 ships!
by Bill Stewart 10 Dec '01

10 Dec '01

From Claudia Schmeing <claudia(a)freeswan.org>'s summary: <http://lists.freeswan.org/pipermail/briefs/> ========= 1. Release 1.93 ships! =================== 1 post Dec 3 http://lists.freeswan.org/pipermail/users/2001-December/005632.html A number of small improvements have been added to this release, which was shipped on-time. Some highlights: * Diffie-Hellman group 5 is now the first group proposed. * Two cases where fragmentation is needed will be handled better, thanks to these two changes The code that decides whether to send an ICMP complaint back about a packet which had to be fragmented, but couldn't be, has gotten smart enough that we now feel comfortable enabling it by default. and IKE (UDP/500) packets which were large enough to be fragmented used to be mishandled, with some of the fragments failing to bypass IPsec tunnels properly. This has been fixed; our thanks to Hans Schultz. * If Pluto gets more than one RSA key from DNS, it will now try each key. This will help when a system administrator replaces a key. * There is preliminary support for building RPMs. * SMP support is better. * The team has eliminated a vulnerability that might permit a denial of service attack. What can we expect from the next release? Henry Spencer writes: We are in the process of chasing down a couple of significant bugs (which have been there since at least 1.92 and possibly earlier), and we *might* ship another release quite shortly if we nail them down and fix them. If we don't, we won't. Barring that possibility, the next release is planned for the end of January; a more precise date will be announced shortly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majordomo(a)wasabisystems.com

Are you now or have you ever been a crypto-anarchist?

Subject: Are you an anarchist? Dont make me apply this cattle prod to your genitals. Anarchist groups among 39 designated by Department of State as "terrorists" (english) Three anarchists groups are among the Department of State's recent list of "terrorists": Revolutionary Proletarian Nucleus (Italy), and Anarchist Faction for Overthrow, and the Mavro Asteri (Black Star) (Greece) 7 anarchists jailed in US puppet police state of Turkey. Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad of Malaysia said that the United States has been learning from his country how to combat terrorism and that the West, which once accused him of trampling on human rights, now is following him. . "It's no good taking action after the crime," Mr. Mahathir said. "We have to act in anticipation, and not in the usual manner, because having to find proof of a crime which has not yet been committed is difficult."

E-money under our noses
by mattd 08 Dec '01

08 Dec '01

Barter units of money or BUMs start to circulate in lieu of dollar and float with the dollar.When the 1st letter from the tax office arrives to tell you your precious BUMs will be taxed as dollars they are subjected to AP.If they harden the tax collectors as targets then other federal employees,prison guards,forest service grunts,postal workers become fair game. Like Osama says,if your paying taxes,your propping up a rogue terror state.Its time to tear apart the state.Bet the farm.

RIAA Cracks Down After Taliban Ousted (fwd)

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2001 17:17:09 -0700 From: xxxx To: yyyy Subject: RIAA Cracks Down After Taliban Ousted http://bbspot.com/News/2001/11/riaa.html Kabul, Afghanistan - The Recording Industry Association of Afghanistan (RIAA) has begun a major crackdown on pirated music since the Taliban fell from power 2 days ago, and launched their own bid for control in the war torn city. Many cheered the fall of the Taliban, but the RIAA feels that if music can be listened to that copyrights will be violated. Soon after the Taliban fled Kabul, black market Qamar Gul and Ahmad Zahir CDs were being openly peddled on street corners. Rumors of Abdullah Muqri MP3s circulating on the Kabul computer were widespread. "It was much easier to control music piracy when the Taliban was in control. Now we fear that with their new found freedom the people of Kabul and in the rest of Afghanistan will turn to copyright violation to satisfy their musical needs," said RIAA President Ghulam Hotak. "An RIAA lead country will be able to enjoy the joys of music, but only if artist are properly compensated." Opposition groups denounce the RIAA power grab. "We will fight to the last man to keep the RIAA from power in Afghanistan," said General Mahommed Dawood of the Northern Alliance. "We did not unseat the Taliban only to have them replaced by a more oppressive regime." The Recording Industry Association of America has pledged support to the RIAA by offering troops from its elite piracy fighting Freedom Squad. "We can not sit idly by and watch the people of Afghanistan violate copyrights. Our brothers in the RIAA need our support," said Hilary Rosen. EOF
